...and you do the same other types of energy production. For nuclear/coal what is reported as nameplate is thermal energy produced which is different than maximum electric power generated.

That is not correct, typical nameplate capacity is for the electrical power. There's of course a less-than-one capacity factor due to plant uptime, but with nuclear it can be more than 0.9.
